How to tell which coupe 19in. wheel are front/back?

I bought a set of coupe wheel/tires awhile ago from a member here. After having them installed, I notice the right rear wheel/tire sticking slightly more than the left wheel/tire. So I guess may be because the one of the front wheel may have been mistakenly switched with the rear. Are there any markings on the wheels so you can tell if it's the front or rear?

The rears will be a half-inch wider and probably have different-size tires on them if they are the stock-size tires. I don't know if the wheels themselves are marked or not.

Anyone?

Front
Size: 19x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 19 lbs
Tire: 225/40-19

Rear
Size: 19x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 21 lbs
Tire: 245/40-19

if you look inside the wheels itself,I think on the spokes on the inside it should tell you and you'll see it marked 8.0-8.5..

Will check. The wheels I bought had the front 245/35 so it's hard to judge from the tire size.

Well I didn't see any markings but I did some quick measurement and it seems the rear wheels have the correct width. I think what happened was the left might have more toe-in than the right. I guess most street driving have more hard right turns than left turns so the the right rear had more stress so therefore more toe-in accumulated with time. To make things a bit worse the left rear shock/springs eventually gets pushed slightly lower on my car as well.
